Recipe | Spiced Cranberry, Pistachio & Orange Choc Chip Shortbread

Well here is my first Christmas recipe of the year! Sorry if anyone thinks it too early but I've got more to come, it's nice to be organised and gives you plenty of time if you want to use these gorgeous biscuits as a homemade gift for someone! Like I've shown in the photos, these biscuits are fab to use as a present, you can wrap them in a bit of cellophane and a nice ribbon and you're done!

This is actually the first time I've made shortbread, I was considering doing the same flavours in a cookie but I thought shortbread was a little more Christmassy! I was actually really pleased with how they came out, they kept their shape well and the taste is so good, like Christmas in a biscuit! Also how sweet is my little tin, it was only about £2 from Home Bargains!

As me and the other half can't afford Christmas presents due to moving I think we're planning to bake some yummy gifts. I'll be bookmarking this for sure. By the way your photo background is beaut. Is that the wallpaper from Wilko? I almost bought it aha xx

What a gorgeous gift idea - I love the idea of buying a cute tin too. I was looking at shop bought biscuits today and they were around £12 per tin - I bet these are so much better and work out cheaper - plus they're a lot more thoughtful too xx
